Affiliate Disclosure

The short version: PassportPicks earns commissions from some of the links on this site. It never costs you anything extra, and it never decides what we recommend.

What affiliate links are

Some links on PassportPicks are “affiliate links.” If you click one and go on to book or buy something, we may receive a small commission from the partner. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be without our link — the commission comes out of the partner’s margin, not your pocket.

Who our partners are

We participate in affiliate programmes with reputable travel companies, which currently include providers across the following categories:

• Hotels & stays — including Booking.com and Agoda.
• Car rental — including Rentalcars.
• Travel insurance — including SafetyWing.
• Activities & tours — including GetYourGuide.
• Flights — including Skyscanner.

This list may change over time as we add or remove partners.

How this affects you

It doesn’t — at least not your wallet. You pay the same price, and booking through our links is a free way to support the work we do. When you click an affiliate link, the partner may set a cookie to attribute the referral; see our Cookie Policy for more.

Our editorial independence

This is the part that matters most to us. Affiliate relationships never influence our rankings, reviews, or recommendations. We recommend a hotel, car, tour, or policy because we believe it is genuinely worth your time and money — not because of what it pays. If a higher-paying option isn’t the better choice, we won’t pretend it is, and we’ll happily tell you when something isn’t worth it. You can read more about how we work in our About page.

Compliance

We disclose our affiliate relationships in line with consumer-protection guidance around the world, including the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) rules. Where relevant, individual pages also carry a clear notice next to affiliate links.
